We had an amazing turnout at this year’s Burnaby Beaver Scout Campfire. There were at least 70 beavers from the area and we enjoyed the bright light of Scouter Tim’s campfire. We sang a lot of songs! We came together to “Fire’s Burning, Fire’s Burning”, sang “If I weren’t a beaver scout”, “Ham and Eggs”, “Tarzan”, “There was an Alligator”, and many more.

Out of our 19 Beavers, 15 were able to make it to the event. WOW! And those 15 beavers decided I should sing “The Wishy Washy Washerwoman”. So, that’s what we did. Everyone laughed so hard at the gross part!

It was also a special campfire because two of Burnaby Scouting’s longtime volunteers received their Silver Acorn awards. We were honoured to be a part of their celebration.

The weather, too, was perfect. And at the end, we enjoyed Hot Cocoa and a granola bar snack before heading to our homes for a good night’s sleep.

Tonight, 9 Beavers from our Colony will attend the sleepover at the Vancouver Aquarium.   Information was distributed at the meeting and by email (last night) to participants. If you are registered for this event and have NOT submitted the following paperwork, ensure you bring the signed paperwork with you.

• Release and Waiver for PARENT and BEAVER
• Medical Information Form for PARENT and BEAVER
• Supervisor Safety Protocol Form for PARENT

Sleeping over: you will need a PARKING PASS. Please email or call Scouter Rosie if you do not have the Parking Pass.

Remember: The Aquarium may not be the warmest place to sleep. Prepare accordingly.
